South Dakota Magazine features movies

The current issue of South Dakota Magazine (May/June 2010) includes a large feature article on movie making in South Dakota by John Andrews. Entitled "On the Big Screen," it includes stories from Rapid City brothers Marc and Michael Linn, Native American filmmakers Mitchell Zephier and Mark St. Pierre, touches on African American Oscar Micheaux's contributions to film, and explains how Wakonda documentarians Doug and Judi Sharples got into the business.

Howdy!

Welcome to Cinema South Dakota, a collection of historical trivia about movies made in South Dakota. Some are classic films and some are duds, but they are all part of South Dakota history. Interviews with people who helped make some wonderful film history will be featured, along with stories from behind the scenes, and information on how to visit the locations you've seen on the screen.

About Me

I have been the Senior Photographer for the South Dakota Department of Tourism and State Development since 1993. That means I travel the entire state making South Dakota pictures of festivals, historic sites, landscapes, wildlife, visitor attractions, etc. My photographs have appeared in many publications including National Geographic Traveler, books on the rock band KISS, and exhibited at the National Museum of Wildlife Art. I also love movies and their history, especially those filmed in South Dakota.
